FAQs
What is the maximum measurement capacity?
The caliper can measure up to 6 inches or 150 millimeters.
How do I switch between inches and millimeters?
Use the dedicated 'ABS/mm' or similar conversion switch located on the caliper body.
What type of battery does it use?
Typically, it uses a common button-cell battery (e.g., LR44 or similar), check the battery compartment for specific model details.
Can I use this for inside measurements?
Yes, the upper jaws are designed for taking inside diameter measurements.
How do I perform a zero reset?
Close the jaws completely, then press the 'Zero' or 'Origin' button. The display will show 0.00mm or 0.00in.
Is the stainless steel construction rust-proof?
Stainless steel offers high corrosion resistance but should still be kept clean and dry to maintain its finish and performance.
Does it come with a calibration certificate?
This product is typically sold as a professional tool without an individual calibration certificate. For certified measurements, professional calibration services would be required.
Troubleshooting
